The ability to own items in combination with the ability to earn cryptocurrency is the main USP of cryptogaming. It is trading in digital assets. This is all that gives completely different emotions and a unique user experience, incomparable with the experience of traditional gaming, where everything is often based on donations (donates). In the absence of decent graphics and interesting game mechanics, it is precisely the possession of their digital goods and the opportunity to make money is what attracts players. That magic and the enthusiasm that you feel when you realize that you are selling digital goods that you received during the time spent in the game and all this with the use of the blockchain. You feel in touch with the future. No conclusions and expectations. You just take and trade with another person. It’s as if you are transferring values ​​from hand to hand while securing the blockchain. Or take those emotions when you get a reward from the game for completing the quest, thanks to which you can make yourself a gift! This is not near with what you get in traditional gaming. It is these emotions that developers need to learn to monetize. Otherwise, why play a game with the worst graphics, with the worst gameplay and donate more money to it when there are much more interesting projects in traditional gaming, where there are much more players without this blockchain?

I believe that the very concept of donation has no place in cryptogaming! This paradigm should shift towards trade in digital goods and / or services. How to implement this with the benefit of developers is another question and a headache for game diz on monetization.

No one talks about guaranteed income to every gamer. Someone will definitely have losses, because someone has bought too expensive, having badly estimated the value of the item, or someone just does not have enough skill in this game to beat their rivals.
